A mission of mercy. A world of nobles and vendettas. And a gunslinger caught between his conscience and his aim.

  Jake, gunslinger, fugitive mage, and reluctant savior, doesn’t mix well with the rich and powerful. But when ten thousand refugees are trapped on a ship and running out of food, air, and time, he agrees to help even if it means begging supplies from one of the galaxy’s most thin-skinned noble houses.

  The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

  He expected stiff etiquette, maybe some awkward dancing. He didn’t expect to be drugged, insulted, and manipulated into a formal duel… against the one man who tried to help him.

  A Duel Among Friends is a fast-paced, standalone space western packed with magitech, betrayal, and duels where a wrong word can get you killed. Perfect for fans of Firefly, The Mandalorian, and spaghetti westerns with a spark of heart.

  The fourth novella in the Warded Gunslinger series — short, action-packed adventures full of reluctant heroes, found family, and pulpy grit in a sprawling space opera universe.

  No filler. No mercy. Just bullets, hard-won trust, and cold steel.
